International Women's Day coming soon

It's almost International Women's Day, March 8th, 2005

Canada’s Theme: “You Are Here: Women, Canada and the World”

Canadians are celebrating International Women's Week (IWW) from Sunday, March 6 to Saturday, March 12, 2005, with the highlight being International Women's Day on March 8th.There are IWD events all over B.C. this year, from Burns Lake, to Coquitlam, to Dawson Creek, Kelowna, Langley, Nanaimo, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Parksville, Prince George, Richmond, Terrace, Vancouver, Victoria & Williams Lake. See details in the 2005 IWD calendar (National & British Columbian listings) on the Status of Women website at:http://www.swc-cfc.gc.ca/dates/iwd/index_e.html

Especially for IWD this year, “Women’s History A-Z”, a free e-course with Jone Johnson Lewis, of About.com, but only for the month of March 2005. A tour of world women's history from A to Z -- from Australia, Bella Abzug, and Agnodice, to Zenobia and Babe Didrikson Zaharias. Great stuff!!
